Announcements:
- Homework Set 6 due Wednesday, March 2
Notes on differentiating electric and magnetic fields E and B
(This problem was on HW 7 in Spring 2004)
- Midterm Exam : Friday, February 25, in class -
covering the material we have studied from Ch.1 (1.1-1.15), Ch.2 (2.1-2.4), and Ch.3 (3.1-3.10). You do not need to study Taylor polynomials from 3.7, or the derivations of the formulas for div, grad and curl in 3.10; however, you should be able to use the formulas to compute, say, curl or Laplacian in Cartesian or cylindrical coordinates.
No calculators or notes; I will give you this Formula sheet for the midterm exam
- Review Session for Midterm Exam :
Thursday, 24 February, 4:30-6:00pm, AQ 3005
Come with your questions...
- Spring 2004 Midterm Exam
Old midterm exam for review, with solutions by John Hebron
- Lecture 19: 21 February
Cylindrical Coordinates:
Vector differential operators in cylindrical coordinates via change of variables of geometric interpretation, arc length, volume element, gradient, divergence
Reading: D&S Ch.3 (3.10)
- Lecture 20: 23 February
Cylindrical and Spherical Coordinates:
Laplacian, curl in cylindrical coordinates, examples; spherical coordinates, level surfaces and coordinate curves
Reading: D&S Ch.3 (3.10)
- Lecture 21: 25 February
Midterm Exam:
(See notes above)
Good luck!
